2008 Peugeot 107 1.0L Petrol · MA08 ATZ

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT on 29 December 2025 at 95,376 miles. The maintenance trend shows signs of instability following a long period of clean records. While the car passed the 2022 and 2023 tests without defects, the late 2025 inspections revealed a cluster of mechanical and electrical failures that suggest the vehicle has recently begun to require more attention despite its previous history. At 18 years old, the Peugeot 107 has a low mileage profile for its age, averaging approximately 5,300 miles per year. However, there is a significant spike in usage between January 2025 and December 2025, where the vehicle covered over 20,000 miles in under eleven months. This rapid accumulation of mileage after years of lower use often leads to accelerated wear on rubber-based components and braking systems, which is consistent with the faults noted in the early 2025 test. A buyer must inspect the front suspension closely, as the January 2025 test flagged worn bushes on both the offside front suspension arm and the anti-roll bar linkage. These components were not yet at a point of failure but indicated the start of significant rubber degradation. The brake system also requires a thorough check; the tester previously identified corroded rear brake pipes covered in grease, a common tactic to hide surface rust. Ensure these pipes have been treated or replaced and are free of deep structural thinning. The electrical failure in December 2025 regarding the offside stop lamp, position lamp, and headlamp aim appears to have been a minor maintenance issue that was addressed before the subsequent pass. Given the previous reports of perished tyres on the rear and uneven wear on the front, the current tyre set should be inspected for sidewall cracking and adequate depth, as low-mileage vehicles often have rubber that dries out and cracks over time regardless of tread depth.
